Inorganic chloramines
Inorganic chloramines comprise three compounds: monochloramine (NH2Cl), dichloramine (NHCl2), and nitrogen trichloride (NCl3). Monochloramine is of broad significance as a disinfectant for water.[3]
Organic chloramines
N-Chloropiperidine is a rare example of an organic chloramine.[4]
Chloramine-T is often referred to as a chloramine, but it is really a salt (CH3C6H4SO2NClNa) derived from a chloramine.[5]
Organic chloramines feature the NCl functional group attached to an organic substituent. Examples include N-chloromorpholine (ClN(CH2CH2)2O), N-chloropiperidine, and N-chloroquinuclidinium chloride.
Chloramines are commonly produced by the action of sodium hypochlorite on secondary amines:
